VMworld 2013: STO5420–SDS the big picture

This session (presented on Monday) was all about the broad topic of “what the heck is going on” in the land of SDS (and by analogy SDN) – and aims to answer these questions:

Control Plane and Data Plane – what the heck are they?

Where do should they be architected into the IT stack?

What the heck is up with VMware and EMC, in effect competing (VSAN vs. ScaleIO and all external storage)? (hint, while VSAN **does** offer an alternative, it’s not that simple). What about different views on how to abstract storage control planes (VMware SPBM and EMC ViPR).

This deck is the “companion” for this blog post that describes the core VMware, EMC, and federation strategy in this space (the “hourglass” strategy slides have proven very popular with customers to quickly and easily understand – they are in this deck if you want to steal them).
